Bubba the Love Sponge has implied Hulk Hogan leaked his own sex tape

The DJ lashed out at his former best friend - who can be seen cavorting with Bubba`s estranged wife Heather Clem in the video - and thinks the "self-centred" wrestler could have released the footage for publicity.

Speaking on his radio show, Bubba - who is believed to feature at the end of the tape bragging about how he could sell the footage - said: "I`m gonna be honest with you, I have not seen the tape ... including me supposedly bragging and being a horse`s ass.

"At the end of the day, I can`t even comment on the validity ... [Hulk] could have had something to do with the leak of it."

Hulk is suing Bubba and Heather for $100 million, claiming they filmed him without his consent.

However, Bubba issued a reminder to Hulk live on air, saying: "Nobody put a gun to your head" and insisted it was consensual.

He also lashed out at his former friend, defending the wrestler` ex-wife Linda and calling Hulk`s daughter Brooke talentless.

The `TNA IMPACT Wrestling` star`s sex tape was previously thought to have been leaked by a disgruntled ex-employee of Bubba.

Hulk recently called in the FBI because he is determined to get to the bottom of the violation of his privacy.

He insisted: "I have braced my family, there could be another one. I have no idea. I`ve never made a tape. I swear to god I wasn`t in on this."
